After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

The three people in the corridor were all shocked and their faces changed. Xu Chengjin reacted the fastest and immediately stopped them, saying, "Girl! What nonsense are you talking about! You are a guest, even if you are anxious, you should not be so rude!"

Every word he said reminded Yuan Ge of his current identity in public.

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, and Yuan Ge shuddered all over. Only then did she vaguely realize what she had said in a hurry. She still looked unhappy, but she finally apologized in a gentle voice, "Sorry, Great Elder... I spoke out of turn." With Wen Qian's status, she really shouldn't have said such a thing, but she was really anxious and really angry. The roar that blurted out at this moment was the obsession that had been weighing on her heart tonight, weighing heavily on her, making her breathless...

He saved Jinsu out of kindness, provided her with food and shelter, but she turned out to be an ungrateful person who could never be tamed. Not only did she turn to Zhuang Lichuan and commit numerous blood debts, but in the end she was determined to kill her former master at all costs.

My grandfather had good intentions so he took in the widow who was trying to commit suicide after losing her beloved daughter. He gave her a roof over her head to protect her from the wind and rain, and was willing to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life. However, the hatred that had been suppressed in her heart for decades never faded. Her heart had not been warmed for decades, and when he saw the opportunity, he sent hundreds of people in Zhixuan Mountain to their deaths.

Xu Chengjin was right. He was not afraid of causing the little girl who died young to commit hundreds of sins in her next life.

Yuan Junfeng withdrew his hand, slowly lowered his rolled-up sleeves, and waved at Yuan Ge, "It's okay, I know you're anxious, and what you said was just the truth. But now that things have come to this, it's useless to get angry. Why don't you come over and rest? You haven't closed your eyes tonight, and it's almost dawn. Come sit here for a while."

Then he instructed Jianshu, "Jianshu, you are fast, so please go to the mountain gate and tell them that from now on, the gate of Zhixuan Mountain is closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. As for the others... just wait until dawn and ask the steward to run a few times."

Yuan Ge returned to the corridor. Yuan Junfeng looked up at her, smiled helplessly, patted the little girl's hand and comforted her, "Since ancient times, there have been farmers saving snakes. It's not surprising that you and I saved the wrong person today... I couldn't bear not saving that snake, and it might become a demon in my heart many years later. Now she is biting you, it's her fault. It would be best if the ending is a happy one for everyone. If not... you and I don't have to regret or blame ourselves for saving such a snake. It's just that I am not as skilled as others and can't protect this family of old and young."

After the old man finished speaking, he slowly stood up with the help of the handrail. When he stood up, his body swayed slightly, but he quickly stabilized. He refused Yuan Ge's help, smiled kindly at her, and indicated that he was fine. Then he walked down the stairs and looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, stand up. I believe you have doubts in your hearts. Today, there is indeed a very important matter... Although it is really not a good thing, I should explain it to you clearly."

The old man stood on the steps with one hand behind his back, his eyes heavy and his voice gentle, with occasional coughs. Everyone in the courtyard, from the initial curiosity and uneasiness, gradually fell into an almost oppressive silence, but in the end no one lost their composure. They just looked at the nanny kneeling on the ground without getting up in silence... She was their colleague, their friend who amused each other, and their confidant family member, but now... this family member stabbed all of them in the back.

They didn't say anything because the Great Elder was in front of them and they had no say in whether it was beating, scolding or killing. But the look they gave the nanny already contained thousands of words.

Yuan Ge retracted his gaze and whispered to Xu Chengjin in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

Xu Chengjin looked at the old man with his back to them and shook his head calmly, "Not very good... The old man is usually in good health. If he has a headache or a fever, he will get better naturally after a good sleep. Now it's the same. It's all up to his body to hold on. But it's the same as a taut guitar string. No matter how good the string is, there is a gravity that it can't bear... You understand, right?"

Yuan Ge nodded silently. She naturally understood, so she asked briefly, "About when?"

"It will probably be within today before his body fails. Only then can we really prescribe the right medicine. Now all we can do is to prepare some heat-clearing and detoxifying substances in advance." Xu Chengjin glanced at the servants in the yard who were keeping their heads down and not saying anything, and said in a lowered voice, "Medicinal materials are also a very tricky problem. You have to prepare in advance. Although there are reserves on the mountain, I'm afraid they won't be enough by then. Also, the old man only ordered that no one should enter or leave the mountain gate, but this still won't work. After everyone gets up, let Song Wenyuan's men go around and give orders, and reduce movement between the courtyards."

"Yes." Yuan Ge nodded, "You and the teacher stay here, I will figure out the problem with the medicinal materials."

Although he said so, he had no idea for the moment. As a native of Zhixuan Mountain, Yuan Ge had hardly left the mountain in the past 18 years, not to mention having a few friends who could help buy medicine... What's more, the nearby towns were not large in scale and population, so one or two small clinics were more than enough to deal with them. Most of the patients were minor ailments such as headaches, fever, and bruises. It seemed that the nearby water could not put out the fire at the moment.

Feng Qingtan was running out of breath while carrying his medicine box, followed closely by Granny Dou, who was running even faster. Granny Dou, who used to pay special attention to rules and etiquette, didn't care about anything at this moment. She walked through the door without looking at anyone, and ran straight past Feng Qingtan, stumbling towards Yuan Ge, "Miss..."

What came out of his mouth was a name that no one knew how many times it had been on his lips.

The trembling voice stopped abruptly when it met the other party's stunned eyes and that different face. She held the railing and took a breath for a while, then she asked with a decent expression and concern, "Madam...are you okay?" If you listen carefully, you can still hear the trembling in her voice.

However, at this moment, everyone obviously did not have the energy to examine whether a nanny's behavior was appropriate.

In the face of a possible plague, not everyone can behave appropriately.

Everyone watched Feng Qingtan feel the patient's pulse in silence, like a prisoner waiting for the final judgment... But Old Feng also said that he could only prescribe some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines for prevention. If they wanted to prescribe the right medicine, they had to wait for the symptoms to appear, or they could look at the bowl from before and maybe they could see something.

However, although Manager Zhan confessed to the incident, he still did not say a word about the whereabouts of the bowl.
